Deadly (and WRONG) Diagnosis - Not only misdiagnosed, but he was also told that the only answer was palliative care.
THEY WERE WRONG... And thank goodness he got a second opinion!
Imagine being told by your local hospital that you have an untreatable cancer. You don't feel unwell...in fact you just ran 6 miles the week before. But you have a weird bump on your ear that you've had your doctor investigate, who refers you to the local hospital. And the diagnosis is....we can offer you palliative care... there is nothing you can do.
But a nurse happens to say to you privately to get a second opinion OUTSIDE of that hospital, which you were going to do anyway, and she cautions that this hospital will "overtreat you" for cancer should you choose to treat.
Travis Best's journey through a cancer diagnosis is an eye-opener, not just to the need for second and third opinions, but into how flawed and broken the medical system really is. When the third leading cause of death in America is medical error, Travis and his wife, Susan, speak to being able to appreciate what is right with American medicine while being your own advocate and empowered with information to navigate it so that it helps you...rather than harms or--worse--kills you.
❤️And Travis and Susan share about how CrowdHealth has helped them get the financial assistance they need to navigate the health system. *Use code JUST THINK at www.joincrowdhealth.com for a 3 month discount!
